	We have also made health inequalities a key priority for the NHS, as set out in the NHS Operating Framework 2008-09. Incentives for the NHS and local authorities have been aligned with the same health inequalities indicators in both the "NHS Operating Framework 2008/09—Vital Signs" (a copy of this document has been placed in the Library) and the "New Performance Framework for Local Authorities and Local Authority Partnerships: Single Set of National Indicators", a copy of this document is available in the Library.
	Joint Strategic Needs Assessment has been introduced to support primary care trusts and local authorities to develop a whole health and social care system, which meets the needs of local people and takes account of inequalities, and communities for health, a local authority-led initiative focussed on health improvement and reducing health inequalities promotes action across local organisations, including all spearheads.
	In addition, the Department is providing tailored, intensive, assistance to areas that face the biggest challenges in delivering the 2010 target. We have established national support teams on health inequalities and on tobacco control and smoking cessation that will disseminate best practice across areas with high infant mortality rates and spearhead areas.
	The Department and the Association of Public Health Observatories have jointly developed the interactive Health Inequalities Intervention Tool. Launched in August 2007, the tool helps local health services and councils improve life expectancy in spearhead areas.

Mental Health Services

David Heath: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many  (a) medium and  (b) high security mental health beds there were in each of the last five years, broken down by (i) sex of occupants and (ii) region.

Ivan Lewis: The data collected records the numbers of mental health and learning disability secure unit beds in national health service units, not the numbers of psychiatric secure unit beds. The data does not include independent sector beds.
	The following table shows the average daily number of NHS secure unit beds, and learning disability secure unit beds in NHS units in England over the last five years.
	
		
			   Mental illness  Learning disability 
			 2002-03 2,064 508 
			 2003-04 2,569 514 
			 2004-05 2,696 503 
			 2005-06 2,807 526 
			 2006-07 2,993 516 
			  Notes: These figures do not represent the full level of secure services available to the NHS. 'Low secure' mental health services are not consistently defined and may well fall outside the definitions. This means that the figures above mainly show the numbers in high and medium secure mental health services in NHS units. These figures also only show NHS beds and not those commissioned by the NHS and provided by independent sector providers.  Source: Department of Health Dataset KH03. 
		
	
	The definitions of mental health and learning disability secure unit beds, for the purposes of the KH03 annual beds collection, are:
	 Mental Illness—Other ages, Secure unit
	An 'Age group intended' of National Code 8 'Any age', a 'Broad patient group code' of National Code 5 'Patients with mental illness' and a 'Clinical care intensity' of National Code 51 'For intensive care: specially designated ward for patients needing containment and more intensive management. This is not to be confused with intensive nursing where a patient may require one-to-one nursing while on a standard ward'.
	 Learning disabilities—Other ages, Secure unit
	An 'Age group intended' of National Code 8 'Any age', a 'Broad patient group code' of National Code 6 'Patients with learning difficulties' and a 'Clinical care intensity' of National Code 61 'designated or interim secure unit'.
	The information on sex and region is not available in the format requested. Information on bed availability and occupancy by NHS organisations in England for 2006-07 and the preceding four years is available on the Department's website at:
	www.performance.doh.gov.uk/hospitalactivity/data_requests/beds_open_overnight.htm

Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what discussions he has had with  (a) other government departments and  (b) local authorities on community arts projects in the last 12 months.

Margaret Hodge: holding answer 14 March 2008
	My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, has had no such discussions since taking up his post in January this year. The Department, however, has recently published A Passion for Excellence, an improvement strategy for culture aimed at supporting local authorities, which includes art services. It was developed with partners in local government, major cultural non-departmental public bodies, the Improvement and Development Agency and other partners.

Bus Services: Disabled

Mike Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the answer of 6 March 2008,  Official Report, column 2753W, on concessions: mentally ill, what the evidential basis is for determining which groups of disabled people should be entitled to concessionary bus fares.

Rosie Winterton: The Transport Act 2000 (or for those resident in London, the Greater London Authority Act 1999) set out the eligibility criteria for statutory concessionary bus travel, covering any person who: is blind or partially sighted; is profoundly or severely deaf; is without speech; has a disability, or has suffered an injury, which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to walk; does not have arms or has long-term loss of the use of both arms; has a learning disability that is a state of arrested or incomplete development of mind which includes significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning; or would, if he or she applied for a grant of a licence to drive a motor vehicle under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988, have his or her application refused pursuant to section 92 of the Act (physical fitness) otherwise than on the ground of persistent misuse of drugs or alcohol.
	The Secretary of State issued guidance to local authorities which sets out the statutory minimum requirement which they must observe to satisfy the law, and to which they must have regard in reaching a decision on eligibility.

Schools: Buildings

Stephen Hepburn: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much was spent on  (a) primary and  (b) secondary school buildings in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside, (iii) the north-east and (iv) England in each year since 1997.

Jim Knight: The Department allocates capital to local authorities and schools, and then relies on the local community to prioritise how it is spent between primary and secondary school buildings. Accordingly, it does not maintain central records on how much capital has been allocated between the two.
	The following table sets out capital allocations from the Department to (i) South
	Tyneside, (ii) the north-east and (iii) England in each year since 1997.
	Figures are not available centrally for allocations to Jarrow constituency, as allocations are made on a local authority basis.

			  Notes: 1. The amounts spent will, in any year, differ from departmental allocations. This is because of expenditure timing differences, local prioritisation, and other resources that may be available locally. 2. The South Tyneside figure of £21.9 million in 2004-05 includes a £15.8 million PFI allocation, and the South Tyneside allocation of £169.1 million in 2005-06 a Building Schools for the Future allocation of £164 million. 3. The figures include indicative allocations, conventional and PFI credits, for Building Schools for the Future ( BSF) projects for the years 2005-06 to 2007-08. As projects develop, allocations will be subject to change. Actual BSF expenditure will be spread over a number of years. 4. The figures for England are taken from departmental annual reports and published figures, with the addition of PFI credits. The England figures for 2006-07and 2007-08 are subject to change.

Schools: Closures

Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many schools have been closed after either being placed in special measures or given notice to improve since 1997.

Jim Knight: Since 1997, 264 schools have been closed after being placed in special measures; and 14 schools have closed after being judged in need of significant improvement (also known as "notice to improve") since that category was introduced in 2005.
